Although Li Fan was not surprised by Lu Guang's words, he was as curious as others. What exactly could make a juren feel a headache?

Also, can he help Lu Guang successfully solve the problem and complete the task smoothly?

Li Fan was not sure until he knew exactly what difficulties Lu Guang had encountered.

Lu Guang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded calmly, as if he had finally made up his mind and said, "This is the thing. Everyone may know that Lu has a son named Lu An, who is twenty-one years old this year and is already at the age of marriage..."

It turned out that Lu An, the son of Lu Guang, went to Izumo Castle not long ago. By chance, he met Xu Yuan, the daughter of Xu Fu, the deacon of the Lord's Mansion of Izumo Castle.

From then on, Lu An fell in love and never forgot about Xu Yuan. He would not marry Xu Yuan in this life.

Xu Yuan saw Lu An as a young high school scholar, with a good appearance and character. The two met by chance, which was considered destined to be destined to be, and she was somewhat affectionate about Lu An.

Under such circumstances, things seemed to be easy to handle. Lu An expressed his feelings to his father Lu Guang, hoping that his father could go to the Xu family to propose marriage.

After learning about the situation, Lu Guang was very satisfied with his son's choice. If he could marry the Xu family in Izumo Castle, it would be of many benefits to the Lu family.

So, two days ago, Lu Guang took Lu An to Izumo City to propose marriage.

Lu Guang was quite sure about proposing marriage. Although the Xu family was an official, it can be said that the Lu family was a bit high-level, but the level of this high-level was not very high, and Lu An was still qualified to marry Xu Yuan.

Of course, although Xu Fu is a deacon in Izumo Castle, he is just a juren, just like Lu Guang. Lu An was only twenty-one years old and was already a scholar, and his future was limitless.

Of course, Xu Jing is not bad either. She is only nineteen years old and is already a child.

In this world, women were not qualified to get a literary exam before. Even if you were a beautiful girl from heaven and were so beautiful, you could only be an ordinary person for the rest of your life.

However, in modern times, with the development of the times and after a series of reforms by the country, women are now qualified to be a civil servant and are also qualified to be an official.

It is just because of various reasons that few women are officials, and the officials of the government are basically men.

The number of women with literary positions is also far less than that of men.

Just like the current Lotus Club scene, the number of people exceeds 700, but there are less than fifty women.

Lu Guang brought Lu An to the Xu family in Izumo City with full confidence, but things were not as smooth as he imagined.

Xu Fu was actually not satisfied with this marriage. He hoped to marry a family of officials. However, due to Lu Guangju's identity, it was difficult to refuse directly. In addition, his daughter Xu Yuan was indeed a little affectionate about Lu An. If he refused directly, his daughter might also feel a little sad.

Therefore, Xu Fu did not directly refuse Lu Guang and Lu An and his son to propose marriage, but instead thought in his heart how to refuse so that the other party can have a way out and not make his daughter sad?

Suddenly, Xu Fu came up with an idea. He knew that Lu Guang, Lu An and his son were both juren and scholars, but they were not good at poetry and couplets, while his daughter Xu Yuan was very good at poetry and couplets.

Since that's the case, why not let my daughter write the first couplet and let Lu An check the second couplet? My daughter has been fond of poetry and couplets since she was a child, but I think she would not refuse it.

If Lu An gets the second couplet, the marriage will be done. If he doesn't get the second couplet, he will be embarrassed.

In this way, Lu Guang has a step forward, and Lu An can't blame others if he can't express his own couplet. And his daughter Xu Yuan will probably not be sad. At that time, his daughter should think, how can anyone who can't express his own couplet be qualified to be his husband?

This is simply a three-killing victory. The more Xu Fu thought about it, the more satisfied he became, so he found an excuse to leave and found his daughter Xu Yuan, saying that in order to test the talent of his future son-in-law, Xu Yuan asked Xu Yuan to give a couple of the future son-in-law.

Xu Yuan has been fond of poetry and couplets since she was a child. When she heard her father say this, she was quite moved. After thinking for a while, she wrote a couplet on a piece of rice paper and handed it to her father.

Xu Fu took it and felt relieved. He was a little worried that his daughter would deliberately issue a very simple first couplet. In that case, he would have to let his daughter write another couplet.

Now there is no need to re-issue it. Just this first line can guarantee that Lu Guang and Lu An and his son will never come out. It is not just a coincidence. I believe I can't even understand what the first line means.

Even he seems to be unable to express the second line.

Xu Fu thought for a while and was really clueless. He couldn't help but ask his daughter curiously, if there is any second couplet?

Xu Yuan shook her head and said that the first couplet was suddenly inspired, and she couldn't answer the second couplet now.

Xu Fu's eyes were brighter, and even his daughter couldn't match the first couplet. Lu Guang and Lu An and his son could match each other and there would be a ghost.

Sure enough, after seeing the first couplet, Lu Guang and Lu An were both confused and didn't know what the first couplet meant, let alone the second couplet.

To get the second couplet out, you must at least understand the meaning of the first couplet. Now you can’t even understand the meaning of the first couplet. How should you get the second couplet?

Xu Fu was extremely proud, but calm on the surface, and said to Lu An, "It's not that my uncle doesn't agree with this marriage, but that my daughter has liked poetry and couplets since she was a child, so that the first couplet was created. This is not to examine the talent of my nephew, but to create a romantic marriage story. I believe my nephew can understand it. In this way, we are limited to three days. Within three days, no matter what method the nephew uses to get the second couplet, we can come directly to propose marriage. What do you think?"

Xu Fu originally wanted to use the couplet as an excuse and declined on the spot, but then he thought that if he declined on the spot, Lu Guang might think that he had never thought of agreeing to this marriage. The so-called failure to express the second couplet was just an excuse he found.

In this way, he will definitely offend Lu Guang. Although Xu Fu is not afraid of Lu Guang, he is not willing to offend Lu Guang.

Therefore, Xu Fu finally decided to limit it to three days. If he couldn't express the second couplet for three days, Lu Guang had no reason to blame him anymore. Even if he still felt dissatisfied, at least he had room for buffering.

Xu Fu was very confident in the first couplet, believing that even if Lu Guang and Lu An and his son were given three days, they would not be able to express the second couplet. Even if they and his father and son finally asked others for help regardless of their face, there would be no problem.

Xu Fu doesn't think anyone in Longcheng can get the second couplet right, and no one can get the second couplet within at least three days.

Back in Longcheng, Lu Guang and Lu An and his son thought about the first couplet, but they could not understand the meaning of the first couplet, let alone the second couplet.

Today is the second day of the three-day deadline. If you can’t express the second couplet tomorrow, the marriage will be ruined.

Lu Guang actually knew that Xu Fu was not very satisfied with such a marriage, so he used his daughter Xu Yuan's hand to get such a couplet.

Lu Guang had to admit that Xu Fu's trick was indeed brilliant. Because if he couldn't come out of the second couplet, he would not have the shame to come to propose marriage again.

I am a juren and a scholar, but I can’t even match the first couplet of a girl’s child. Why would I mention a relative?

However, both of them were not good at couplets, so the couplets were probably not correct anyway.

But Lu Guang was not willing to give up this marriage. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to ask several juren in Longcheng for help. Everyone was a juren in Longcheng, and their relationship was still acceptable.

Unfortunately, after reading the first couplet, several juren were also a little confused, so it is probably impossible to get the second couplet as soon as tomorrow.

In desperation, Lu Guang had no choice but to find anyone with a title in Longcheng to gather ideas to see if he could crack the meaning of the first couplet and successfully match the second couplet?

There is no way to do this.

So, this time there was the "Lotus Root Club". Anyone who received the invitation, except for those who could not get out of the way, came basically.

The call from Juren is very influential.

The lotus lotus club site.

After Lu Guang explained the cause and effect to everyone, he showed everyone a piece of rice paper with a couplet written on the rice paper, with beautiful handwriting, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by a woman.

Lu Guang said, "Everyone, this is the first couplet written by Miss Xu Yuan. Lu was ashamed and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't understand the meaning of the first couplet."

After seeing the first couplet clearly, everyone finally realized it. They finally understood why this gathering was called the "Lotus Club"?

I saw that the first couplet reads: Lotus roots are obtained because of lotus!
Chapter completed!
